Listen closely, I’m running out of time here
You know lately my life’s been upside down
Spinning round too fast, everything is in a blur now
At this crazy pace I can hardly see your face


We’re hiding behind our grand facades
One day they’ll fall down, don’t we all know


Will we ever see the day when we’ll find a way
To meet each other face to face
So many years we’ve waited, chances wasted
To talk about the basics of life


Feeling trapped inside this never ending carousel
I need to free myself, consider my priorities
Am I witness the way I live my life today
Or just too busy to think about the call…?


We’re hiding behind our grand facades
One day they’ll fall down, don’t we all know
Will we ever see the day when we’ll find a way
To meet each other face to face
So many years we’ve waited, chances wasted
To talk about the basics of life


Can we talk about the basics of life?
We need to find common ground
Can we talk about the basics of life
So many years we’ve wasted
